Navarea Warnings / METAREA Warnings
Hi All, new to SignalK so be kind 🙂
We are working on an application which connects to an Iridium terminal, received Navarea Warnings / METAREA and displays them on a map on your PC, using NMEA 0183 to get the data from the Iridium terminal.
Just wondering if SignalK has any plugins doing anything similar?

I am not aware of any plugins that make data from Iridium available to Signal K.
Currently,
VDM messages containing weather station information are made available under the meteo context in Signal K.
The screenshot shows how meteo paths are displayed in Freeboard-SK.
Might also need to check that the required NMEA sentences are included in the NMEA0183-to-signalk plugin.
@AdrianP thanks for that, I guess it doesn't exist. Not sure if it should be a plugin to SignalK or OpenCPN or just standalone.
Current setup is just in a shed, Iridium Terminal (Thrane LT3100-S) bottom right, setup to receive NAV and MET warning for 5 areas, NMEA 0183 output to the Quark-Elec
over NMEA we get the GPS location too
Here is an NMEA Nav Warning
Also not sure how many OpenCPN / SignalK users would have an Iridium / Inmarsat terminal receiving GMDSS, to make a plugin worthwhile? It there are people that would like it we could create it
